I've killed several deer in constant rain. They can go inside why should you.

I've seen alot of deer during a rain, more just afterward but you need to be there when it's raining to be there just afterward. You might jump them going in etc...

On the shot, nothing less than pefect is acceptable. Be ready and be confident.

I personally like hunting in light rain. Seems like i always see more deer on those dreary days.

There is alot of deer movement during a light steady rain.

DONT MISS OUT ON IT! Excellent chance of catching them out of bed.

I've killed anumber of them in light rain. Depending on how hard it's coming down, remember to start your tracking before it gets washed away. I've had to find a few of them by just looking around since the blood trail was washed out.

Wish the damned rain would stop long enough to go sit in the woods, what a crappy bow season.

Ever thought of getting off of the stand and finding them? If so, during the rain is the best time.
Good luck,

I'll take a rainy day over a beautiful fall day any time. The deer love it (unless it's a gully wahser) and people hate it. I've probably killed 70% of my deer in rain of some sort.
